is installed in each of the card slots, and designate the circuits making up the card. In addition,
there is information which tells you the number of timeslots required by the database configu-
ration. This is done so that you are aware of the number of timeslots in use by the system.
Although the basic system configuration is non-blocking, certain configurations of Options
card ports can lead to circumstances wherein more timeslots are assigned than are available,
which may result in blocking if an attempt is made to use all resources at once. (See
in SPECIFICATIONS for further discussion of time slot allotment.) Because the cardfile has
universal slots, any type of card (except the CPC or CPU) can be installed in any slot. You pro-
gram these fields to "tell" the database which type of card is in each slot.

not be changed. Nothing can be programmed in slots 16, 32, 48, and 64.

MANUAL VERSION 11.0 – May 2008
The Cabinets programming area allows you to designate the type of interface card that
The number of available slots depends on the number of cabinets (chassis) installed:
In a single-chassis system there are 8 slots. The only type of card that can be pro-
grammed into card slot 8 is a CPC (or CPU).
In a dual-chassis system, there are 16 slots. The only type of card that can be pro-
grammed into card slot 8 is a CPC (or CPU). Slot 16 is not used.
In a triple-chassis system, there are 24 slots. The only type of card that can be pro-
grammed into card slots 8 and 24 is a CPU. Slot 16 is not used.
In a quad-chassis system, there are 32 slots. The only type of card that can be pro-
grammed into card slots 8 and 24 is a CPU. Slots 16 and 32 are not used.
In an eight-chassis ATM system, there are 64 slots. The only type of card that can be
programmed into card slots 8, 24, 40, and 56 is a CPU. Slots 16, 32, 48, and 64 are not
used.
The system will not allow an empty slot (or any card type other than a CPC or CPU) in
The CPC or CPU card used in each slot also depends on the number of chassis. The
CPC64 or CPU64: This is used in single-chassis systems with 64 or fewer devices. It is
ideal for the CPU64 configuration (see
CPC-Dual or CPU128: This is used in a single- or dual-chassis system with 128 or
fewer devices.
CPC-Dual or CPU020-D/PCM-D (CPU 256): This is used in a single- or dual-chassis
system. It provides support for up to 256 devices.
NOTE:
A CPC is required to run version 8.0 or later on a 64, 128, or 256 system.
CPU020-Q/PCM-D: This CPU/PCM combination is not recommended, but can be
used temporarily in a single- or -dual chassis system if a CPU020-D is not available. It
must be programmed as a CPU020-D/PCM-D combination.
CPU020-D/PCM-F: This CPU/PCM combination is not recommended, but can be used
temporarily in a single- or -dual chassis system if a PCM-D is not available. It must be
programmed as a CPU020-D/PCM-D combination. Note that the PCM card will remain
in a constant state of alarm, indicating that it cannot achieve local or remote sync; this
can be ignored.
